Summer flowering bulbs come in a dizzying array of hues, sizes, and forms. Luckily, you can plant many varieties in the spring, after the chance of frost has passed, giving you plenty of time to select the bulbs that best match your creative goals and garden conditions. Choose an assortment of flowers to create eye-pleasing mixed beds, or emphasise your favorite colour with a mass planting of a single cultivar. Mix early- and late-blooming varieties of these Dutch bulbs to keep your garden in flower throughout the summer.

Summer bulbs are a perfect addition to any garden. Create colourful borders and edges with masses of low-growing carpet lilies. Surround your summer gatherings with huge, easy-to-grow dahlia blossoms, bright and exotic cannas, or stunning gladiolus. Brighten a shady spot by mixing subtle caladium foliage colours with bright begonia blossoms. Prepare for a season of sun and fun with a gorgeous array of summer colours.
